The title track of Harvey McKay’s ‘DV8’ EP on Rekids Special Projects starts with driving, shuffling drums shot through with jazz-inflected chord stabs. It’s techno with an authentic soul feel yet perfectly suited to work the dancefloor and sets the tone for the rest of the tracks.

Up next, ‘Footstep’ sees the Scottish McKay fuse an evocative vocal with organ riffs and more powerful and raw drum work before ‘Rasta Woman’, where the Soma, Cocoon, UNCAGE, and Bedrock artist once again pushes his drum machines by blending hard-hitting rhythms with earworm vocal snippets, closing out a club-ready release brimming with attitude.

“With so much focus on playing it safe with music these days, with this release, I felt I really needed to push myself to innovate and create new fusions of styles, cultures, and musical influences in techno, as I feel that's what keeps the scene alive in the long run.” - Harvey McKay.

French live Techno outfit Möd3rn debuts on Rekids’ Rekids Special Projects sibling label with the Far South EP, with part one landing 28th March 2025.

The group, whose current members include artists Electric Rescue, Kmyle, and Moteka, drop Tension first—bodied drums swinging down low while alien signals increase in intensity above. The artists follow up with title track Far South, in which jagged rhythm melds with restless stab sequences before shadowy dance cut Melancolysea overlays transcendental melodies over a dark and snaking bassline for mind-melting trippage.

Founded in 2013 by Maxime Dangles, Traumer, and Skryptöm label boss Electric Rescue, Möd3rn has grown into a notable live hardware act with a long list of releases on their eponymous Möd3rn Records label. Though Maxime Dangles and Traumer have now moved on from the project, Mord and COD3 QR artist Kmyle and Skryptöm regular Moteka have both joined Electric Rescue since. The trio’s mastery of analog sounds now arrives on Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects for the first time via part one of the Far South EP.
